Course Information

Course Requirements

This course will go into detail discussing prenatal development, the birthing process, and postnatal development. I want parents and students to be aware that I feel it is extremely important that the students view a live birth film in order to have an adequate understanding of child development. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me. It is also a requirement that the students take home an infant simulation device for a weekend in order to adequately gain insight into their parenting skills. A letter will be sent home with more details about the simulation process and as always if there are questions or concerns please contact me.
